I get what you're saying TLAM, but I've always thought North Korea as kind of a paper tiger. Sure, they've got soldiers and hardware, but with dubious training and in dubious states of repair. They're also so diplomatically isolated that if they went to war with anyone, they wouldn't be getting any help; military or otherwise. They're not like, say, an Iran who actually has buddies in the world. True, they have China, but the Chinese seem more embarassed by their association than anything at this point, and appear to do everything to distance themselves from Kim and his regime.
